<P><B>A heart-wrenching memoir about a mother's desperate quest for a miracle medical cure for her twin sons</B></P><P>In her early thirties, Ondine Sherman felt like her life was complete. She'd fulfilled her lifelong dream of a career in animal welfare, was married to a man she adored, had a happy, healthy daughter, and was lucky enough to enjoy total financial security. But life started to unravel for Ondine after the birth of her twin sons, Dov and Lev. By six months of age they were failing to meet important early milestones, forcing Ondine and her husband to embark on an odyssey of consultations with doctors and specialists. After months of fear and uncertainly, the boys were diagnosed with a rare genetic condition that meant they might never walk or talk. Here is Ondine's searingly honest account of a mother's struggle to come to terms with the fate of her beloved twin boys, and her spiritual journey toward acceptance, love, and a different idea of perfection.
